Mazarron is situated in the Costa Calida which is the name for the coastal area of the province of Murcia, all 250km of it! Costa Calida directly translates as the warm coast and is so called because of the hot mean annual temperatures and the limited rainfall of only 34cm per year!
The route is all about getting to know the area and its towns, ports, coastline and mountains. We have put together a full day out with six stops as a taster, but you might like to spend longer in each place.
